What does pound/foot/second measure?

It measures dynamic viscosity using imperial units, quantifying a fluid's resistance to shear flow with force times time per area.

Why convert pound/foot/second to pound-force second per square inch?

Because different US customary engineering contexts and datasheets use these units interchangeably, requiring conversion to compare or apply viscosity data correctly.

Does this converter consider temperature effects on viscosity?

No, it only converts values based on unit area differences and does not account for temperature-related viscosity changes.
